When looking for advice on which vibrator to add to your sex toy collection, many blogs and articles will tell you the same thing: “Decide what size vibrator you want to buy!”
But what if you’re not sure? It’s all very well telling you to decide between a large vibrator or a small one, but making that decision is not always easy. Plus, there are so many more options than just big or small!
That’s where this quick guide comes in…
Read on to find out the perfect vibrator size for you, depending on the exact type of stimulation you want, how much experience you have, and more!
Are you looking for internal or external stimulation?
The first thing to decide when buying a vibrator? If you want to be able to insert it or not.
Insertable vibrators, such as g spot vibrations, rabbit vibrators and anal vibratorsThey can provide deep, satisfying vibrations and come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. External vibrators usually (but not always) focus on ultimate clitoral pleasure. can include bullet vibrators, magic wand vibratorspalm-sized vibrators, finger vibrators and more.
There are different things to consider about both when deciding what size vibrator to buy. So, let’s focus on the internal vibrators first.
If you choose internal…
If you want an insertable vibrator, it’s time to think about where you want to use it.
By that I don’t mean if you are a dormitory or shower type sex toy. Rather, do you want to use your vibrator vaginally or anally?
What size vaginal vibrator should I buy?
There are many vibrators designed for G-spot stimulation.
Some of them are quite small, as the G-spot is usually located near the entrance to the vagina. However, they can also get much bigger and thicker, if that’s what you like.
If you want deeper stimulation of the vagina’s A-spot, you’ll need to buy a vibrator that’s longer (though not necessarily wider) to reach there.
The thickness of your vibrator is a slightly more subjective decision. It will depend a lot on how big you are and what kind of sensations you enjoy.
A thick vibrator will feel much fuller inside you, but it can be overwhelming for some.
A thinner vibrator will be more maneuverable, but may leave some people wanting more.
Here are our top recommendations for vaginal vibrators of all sizes:

What size anal vibrator should I buy?
Choosing the right size anal vibrator may seem a little less straightforward for many, especially those who don’t have much anal experience.
Have you never had the pleasure of feeling a buzz in your butt before? So, it’s best to stick with something smaller. Anywhere within the range of <1 inch to 1.25 inches in diameter is considered a small anal toy and is a great starting point. However, even if you've never tried an anal vibrator before, you might be ready for something a little bigger if you already have a couple of fingers in there.
Anal toys with narrow diameters are also usually shorter, although this is not always the case. anal beads and dildos can often start out narrow and then get wider as they are inserted. This allows you to control the depth according to your comfort level.
If you have more anal experience, you can go for something bigger! Just remember, it’s easy to be too ambitious and end up hurting yourself, so try to opt for something that isn’t much bigger than your previous toy.
Here are our top picks for anal vibrators of all sizes:

When thinking about external vibrators, there is a lot more room for experimentation!
The main things you should consider when thinking about what size external vibrator to buy are:
- Do you like more direct or specific stimulation? Smaller vibrators will be able to give your clitoris really direct stimulation, while larger ones will provide broader stimulation.
- Do you want to focus on the clitoris or a broader area? Some vibrators are designed to pleasure your entire vulva, something that bullet vibrator You will probably have difficulties.
- How heavy can you bear? The smaller vibrators are super portable and easy for anyone to hold. Large vibrators, like wands, may be more powerful, but not as good for those who have grip or mobility issues.

Are large vibrators more expensive than small ones?
Yes and no…
Often, the bigger you are, the more you will have to pay for your vibrator. This is simply because larger vibrators require more materials, making them more expensive to manufacture. Most of the time, if you sort the “vibrators” page on a sex toy website by price, you’ll find bullet vibrators as the cheapest option.
Quality must also be taken into account. There are many larger vibrators, such as rabbits and dildos, that are made of poor quality materials and break easily. Sure, they’re cheap, but what you save on the upfront cost will likely be negated by the second-rate experience you get.
